Yeah, I suspect I am both mildly autistic and ADHD.

Okay, well I’ll try to answer your questions as directly as possible.
Attending seminars to learn about current interests is a very clinical approach, that won’t ever really capture what those trends are and you will appear to be even more of an outsider imitating the ‘insiders’. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, maybe try looking to find a group hobby that you can do with other people (DnD, walking, photography, book club, sports, etc).

I want to do research, that is why I am in the uni. Problem is, network effect is strong in academia, so being isolated is not great for that…
